Way Back Wednesday – Let It Go (No, I’m Not Talking About Frozen)
LET IT GO
(Originally posted on April 22, 2015.)
When your husband says something that you think is not quite right, please (if at all possible) let it go.
Yes, sometimes you need to correct (“the meeting starts at 10, not 9:30”), but for much of life, it’s just not that important (little differences in detail don’t significantly change the story). People are entitled to have their perspectives and beliefs. That includes our husbands.
Correction often feels like disrespect. Like we are smarter or know better. Like they are children and need us to come along behind them and fix their mistakes.
I’m not asking you to stifle your own voice. You have a right to your own perspectives as well. I’m just saying it’s a respectful thing to let those small differences go.

This is a daily challenge for me. His ADHD creates a special challenge all it’s own. Some days I win, other days are dismal failures.
My hubby is ADHD as well. Caffeine seems to help him. :)
My ADHDer loves Coke! He’s cut way back for his health, but on hectic days I hear the “I gotta have a coke!” cry.
If there is something that wont really affect much anything then we can let it go. It is challenging to both person but it is for the better. We all love our husbands and a little compromise in this area will lessen misunderstanding.
